Astro Digital delivers an end-to-end service to CubeSat application developers, from concept through to deployment. However, the inability of their existing simulator generate trackable GNSS signals was slowing their development cycles and adding significant risk. Without strong GNSS positioning performance, deployed satellites could be totally incapacitated, leading to loss of revenue and reputation.

More industries are using CubeSats for communications and data services, with many containing GPS/GNSS receivers for orbit determination and timekeeping.

There are multiple satellite signal testing options available for developers of GNSS-enabled devices, but not all of them deliver the breadth and accuracy of results that you need. So how do you decide which GNSS testing device is right for you?

When complete, Galileo, Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), will join GPS, GLONASS and other upcoming systems in providing positioning services to users across world. As part of the development of the Galileo system, Thales Alenia Space used Spirent GNSS simulation to rigorously test all aspects of the GNSS, both in isolation and together.
